The hottest part in unit testing is the error messages.
The hottest command extracts error messages from the unit test logs, saving the effort of searching for error messages. It's usage is the same as the go test command.

The hottest command is the wrapper for 'go test'. It adds the "-v" option to the 'go test' options provided by the user and executes the tests. Successful test results are represented by green ".", while failed tests are represented by red ".".
Upon completion of the tests, it displays information about the failed tests and summarizes the test results.

go testoutputs with text decorations. - gotestyourself/gotestsum: 'go test' runner with output optimized for humans, JUnit XML for CI integration, and a summary of the test results.
I considered adding a feature to aggregate coverage information during the development of hottest. However, I have decided that it is better to use the excellent coverage aggregation functionality provided by k1LoW/octocov. Therefore, hottest will not add any features related to coverage.
First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! If you feel that the hottest command is not working properly, please let me know by sending me go test -v . /... -json log please.
Contributions are not only related to development. For example, GitHub Star motivates me to develop!
Some portions of the code in this file were forked from rakyll/gotest. The gotest is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License. Full license text is available in main.go
The hottest is a command developed with inspiration from rakyll/gotest. While gotest adds color to error logs, as the volume of unit tests increases, it becomes challenging to locate error messages with color alone.
To solve this issue, the idea emerged to make a slight improvement to gotest, leading to the development of hottest. Advancing just one step from 'g' takes you to 'h'.
I liked "hotest," but to avoid being corrected for a spelling mistake, I chose "hottest."
